Welcome to the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) and Small Business (SB) Office
Under the direction of Procurement and Payment Services, the HUB/SB Program Office is committed to providing opportunities to compete for contracts and purchases while creating a fair and open competitive market, and improving community awareness.
Services in Procurement
The size and infrastructure of The University of Texas at Austin make it a “city within a city,” which means we buy anything and everything from time to time. There are more than 400 different departments and each has different and unique purchasing needs. As one of the largest research institutions, the university also contributes to the uniqueness of the types of goods purchased.
The HUB/SB Office ensures the university’s good faith effort to include HUB businesses in its procurement processes, and we want to know about you and your business. We want to ensure that when the HUB/SB Program Office is seeking your type of business that we know about you. Search current UT Austin bid opportunities on the BidWeb site. Potential vendors also may find detailed resources in the Vendor Handbook. If you have specific questions associated with Procurement, please contact the Procurement HUB Associate.
